I WANT TO BE FREE
Breaking Chains: Seeking Freedom in the Fast Lane
Lyrics
I'm driving down the freeway

I had to get away

There is no turning back back yeah
There's a sense of commitment or no going back.
I've got to stop working

I need a holiday

From this nine to five if not I might die

Yeah die die do die
